Born on a quiet morning, just a dream in someone's eye. A dream that's like a promise meant to be. Giving rise to speculation on a place called paradise. If I've ever been there it's when you were with me. You're so beautiful, I can't believe my eyes each time I see you again. You're so beautiful that I'm in paradise each time I see you again.
I remember some hidden valley where the skies are never still and alpine meadows burn in the evening light. I remember the path to glory and the way around the hill and I remember true love's eyes shining in the night. You're so beautiful, I can't believe my eyes each time I see you again. You're so beautiful that I'm in paradise each time I see you again.
And if paradise is everything you see, then the place you must be coming from is ecstasy. You're so beautiful, I can't believe my eyes each time I see you again. You're so beautiful that I'm in paradise each time I see you again. I just want to see you again, I want to be with you again, I just need to love you again, I just want to touch you again, I just need to love you again.
Dearest Esmeralda in another age Antiques would be modern We would be the rage Silk would be in fashion We would dress in lace Love would be the passion And the saving grace
I slept one rainy night with you in Paris Made up for a thousand wasted years Dearest Esmeralda you are ma-gic I close my eyes and you make love appear
Dancing in the shimmer Of a crystal chandelier Shadows singing so low Only we could he-ar Moving to the glimmer Shaking to the storm Outside it was raging But inside it was warm
We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder Now I wake and find you're never there I'm becoming old enough to won-der Happy that I'm still too young to care
Masterpieces crumble Empires tumble down Refugees and fantasies go underground Romance lasts forever Love don't fade away They may take our future But they can't stop yesterday
Cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of Paris We were part of some artists design Dearest Esmeralda you are magic In the gray around me how you shine Oooh, how you shine!
My Sweet Lady Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me Did you think our time together was all gone Lady, you’ve been dreaming, I’m as close as I can be I swear to you our time has just begun Close your eyes and rest your weary mind I promise I will stay right here beside you Today our lives were joined, became entwined I wish you could know how much I love you Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do Are there meanings that you’ve never seen before Lady, my sweet lady, I just can’t believe it’s true And it’s like I’ve never ever loved before Close your eyes and rest your weary mind I promise I will stay right here beside you Today our lives were joined, became entwined I wish you could know how much I love you Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me Did you think our time together was all gone Lady, my sweet lady, I’m as close as I can be I swear to you our time has just begun
A country dance was being held in a garden I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg you pardon" Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started and was I the perplexed one I held my breath and said "May I have the next one?" In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers As we floated over the floor There were questions but my heart knew all the answers And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage made of lilacs and laughter I know the meaning of the words "ever after" And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth your hand, I'll do anything to help you understand I love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me little birds will sing along in time, leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime
I'll be there when you're feelin' down to kiss away the tears that you cry, I'll share with you all the happiness I've found a reflection of the love in your eyes.
And I'll sing you the songs of the rainbow, I'll whisper of the joy that is mine leaves will bow down when you by and morning bells will chime
I'll walk in the rain by your side, I'll cling to the warmth your tiny hand, I'll do anything to help you satisfied I love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your name to me little birds will sing along in time, leaves will bow down when you walk by and morning bells will chime
I guess growing isn't hard to do Just stand against the wall Once I was just two feet high Today I'm six feet tall
But knowing who to listen to Is something else again Words just whistle 'round my head Like seasons in the wind
All across the water the clouds are sailing They won't let me look at the sky All I want to do is try and find myself Come and let me look in your eyes
In searching for the way to go I've followed all the rules The way they say to choose between The wise men and the fools
I listen to the words they say I read what I should read I do whatever's right to do Try to be what I should be
Someone let me in I think the sky is falling Seems I've gotten lost on my way All I want to do is try and find myself Come and let me look in your eyes
Ah, but wisdom isn't underground Nor on a mountainside And where am I to take myself There's no place here to hide
All across the universe the stars are fading Seems we've gotten lost on our way All I want to do is try and find myself Come and let me look in your eyes
Yes I've been dreaming about you every day Each and every day Had I been thinking about you all night long I even wrote a song
Just to try to tell you how I really feel To make you understand my love is real That you're on my mind all the time I wish to God you were mine once again
I remember talkin' to you I remember walkin' with you I remember laughin' all the time And you were mine Now the days seem so long I can't face a night alone I beg you please won't you please come home
I remember talkin' to you I remember walkin' with you I remember laughin' all the time
I remember singin' to you I remember dreamin' with you I remember lovin' you alone And now the days seem so long I can't face a night all alone I beg you please won't you please come home

It's cold here in the city It always seems that way And I've been thinking about you almost everyday Thinking about the good times Thinking about the rain Thinking about how bad it feels alone again I'm sorry for the way things are in China I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself Cause you are not here with me Our friends ask all about you I say you're doing fine And I expect to hear from you almost anytime But they all know I'm crying I can't sleep at night They all know I'm dying down deep inside I'm sorry for all the lies I told you I'm sorry for the things I didn't say But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself I can't believe you went away
I'm sorry if I took some things for granted I'm sorry for the chains I put on you But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself For living without you
So you speak to me of sadness And the coming of the winter Fear that is within you now It seems to never end And the dreams that have escaped you And the hope that you’ve forgotten You tell me that you need me now You want to be my friend And you wonder where we’re going Where’s the rhyme and where’s the reason And it’s you cannot accept It is here we must begin To seek the wisdom of the children And the graceful way of flowers in the wind For the children and the flowers Are my sisters and my brothers Their laughter and their loveliness Could clear a cloudy day Like the music of the mountains And the colours of the rainbow They’re a promise of the future And a blessing for today Though the cities start to crumble And the towers fall around us The sun is slowly fading And it’s colder than the sea It is written from the desert To the mountains they shall lead us By the hand and by the heart They will comfort you and me In their innocence and trusting They will teach us to be free For the children and the flowers Are my sisters and my brothers Their laughter and their loveliness Could clear a cloudy day And the song that I am singing Is a prayer to non believers Come and stand beside us We can find a better way
When I was a young man I ran away trom home I went to join the circus Went to see the cotton candy whirl And make me lots ot money on my own For molly, oh my pretty molly But she's waiting all alone Someday soon I will return to her
Then I made the big time Bright 11ghts show biz I'm really in the circus There's only one thing wrong
I haven't saved a peony on my own For molly, oh my pretty molly But she's writing everyday Molly understands so it's okay
Ride a windy box car See a thousand children young and old Oh that grease paint smile Can hide your soul Here comes a carrousel Guess which town it is Feel the thnil Grease paint covers everything But winters chill
I'm reading molly's letter The ink is fading And the page is fuming yellow Long ago I promised molly Don't you know i I will close my eyes and go to her
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely. Sunshine almost always make me high
If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you a day just like today. If I had a song that I could sing for you. I'd sing a song to make you feel this way.
If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile. If I had a wish that I could wish for you. I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while.
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high. Sunshine almost always.
Di di di di di la la la la la la In a spaceship over the mountains Chasing rainbows in the setting sun Leaving heart and home for the city of angels I feel my life is undone There are pathways winding below me In pleasure I’ve gone where they go In the quiet stillness I can hear symphonies The loveliest music I know How can I leave you there, I must be clear out of my mind Lost in a storm I’ve gone blind Oh, how can I leave you there Oh, it’s been a long time since I’ve listened Still longer since I’ve walked with you For the first time I know what I’m missing Some answers are no longer true So I question the course that I follow I’m doubtful and deep in despair My heart is filled with impossible notions Can it be you no longer care? Still, I ride on the wings of a high wind Blowing steady and strong behind me As the clouds surrender my fate is for certain I'm a sailor who runs to the sea How can I leave you again I must be clear out of my mind Lost in a storm I’ve gone blind Oh, how can I leave you there
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song but I just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend now but I always thought that I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me jesus you gotta help me make a stand you just got to see me through another day my body's achin' and my time is at hand I won't make it any other way I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend now but I always thought that I'd see you again
I've been walkin' my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around but there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend now but I always thought that I'd see you again
Isabel is waiting In a room of many shadows Her eyes like flashing diamonds Shining brightly from the sea Her hair in silken tresses Like a road around her shoulders Hiding tantalizing treasures That the sun has never seen Isabel is watching Like a princess from the mountains For the first soft snows of winter And the icy winds they bring With a whisper of her sadness In the passing of the summer Her crown is wide red roses With a lace of forest green And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs And she seems to be in silence with her eyes And her hair upon my pillow comforts me Isabel is weeping And her eyes are full of wonder She knows that it's the time for her And she cannot understand She's a mistress of the moonlight To the stars she is a sister And the morning now awaits her To betray her once again And she whispers as she sadly slips away Then she smiles because there's nothing left to say And she takes with her the sadness and the sun
Its five oclock this morning, and the sun is on the rise Theres frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come
And its goodbye again, Im sorry to be leavin you Goodbye again, as if you didnt know Its goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to leave
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile Other voices beckon me, to go a little while
And its goodbye again, Im sorry to be leavin you Goodbye again, as if you didnt know Its goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to leave
Have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I dont know Some who arent familiar with my name, Its something thats inside of me not hard to understand Its anyone who listens to me sing
And if your hous are empty now, who am I to blame You think if I were always here, our love would be the same As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone And lying by your side, the greatest peace Ive ever known
But its goodbye again, Im sorry to be leavin you Goodbye again, as if you didnt know Its goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to leave
Here I am closing my eyes again Trying so hard not to see All the things that I see Almost willing to lie again I swear that it just isn’t so It just isn’t me We are never alone Even though we’d like to be The I go and open my eyes again Love in your eyes is the thing That I’d most like to see I’d be willing to die again To know of a place and a time Where it always could be To be always with you And you always with me This is my autograph Here in the songs I sing Here in my cry, in my laugh Here in the love that I bring To be always with you And you always with me Say a prayer and open your heart again You are the love and the life That we all need to see Always willing to shine and then Peace on this earth is the way That it always can be To be always with you And you always with me This is my autograph Here in the songs I sing Here in my cry, in my laugh Here in the love that I bring To be always with you And you always with me
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean To ride on the crest of the wild raging storm To work in the service of life and the living In search of the answers to questions unknown To be part of the movement and part of the growing Part of beginning to understand Aye Calypso The place's you've been to The things that you've shown us The stories you tell Aye Calypso I sing to your spirit The men who have served you So long and so well
Like the dolphin who guides you You bring us beside you To light up the darkness and show us the way For though we are strangers in your silent world To live on the land we must learn from the sea To be true as the tide And free as a wind swell Joyful and loving in letting it be Aye Calypso The place's you've been to The things that you've shown us The stories you tell Aye Calypso I sing to your spirit The men who have served you So long and so well Aye Calypso The place's you've been to The things that you've shown us The stories you tell Aye Calypso I sing to your spirit The men who have served you So long and so well
